My online .pdf proof has weird strokes all over it, what's going on?

If you see odd, outlines, or traced "strokes" on parts of your proof (especially type), you are probably not viewing your proof correctly. Reopen your proof in Adobe Acrobat Professional (NOT Adobe Reader ), go to the "Advanced" menu and turn ON "Overprint Preview" and "Output Preview" to get an accurate representation of your print job.
